People’s ‘sexiest astrophysicist’ Neil deGrasse Tyson to speak at Winspear in May

Host Neil DeGrasse Tyson appears on the panel for "Cosmos" at the FOX Winter 2014 TCA, on Monday, Jan. 13, 2014, at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena, Calif.

Famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium and host of the upcoming Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey will be speaking at the Winspear Opera House Monday, May 19. Tickets go on sale via the AT&T Performing Arts Center website at attpac.org on February 7 at 10 a.m.

According to the AT&T Performing Arts Center press release, Tyson will “enlighten and amaze the audience,” which is a task he has plenty of practice accomplishing. Among other things, he is the former host of NOVA Science NOW on PBS, is a noted friend of Superman and was named People Magazine’s “sexiest astrophysicist.”

Yes, you can listen to the man who Superman goes to for help with matters of astronomy. All for a ticket that ranges between $20 and $100. If that doesn’t get your attention, then, well…

I’m personally a big fan of Tyson’s radio show/podcast Star Talk and am very interested in hearing what he’s got to say when he comes through town. Even if you have only a passing interest in science and astronomy, he’s a lot of fun to listen to.
